Tunisian Sets Himself on Fire
A young Tunisian set himself on fire on Tuesday (March 12) - a tragic echo of Mohamed Bouazizi's self-immolation in late 2010 that many say triggered the Arab Spring. The 27-year-old, who has not been named, was selling cigarettes in Tunis when he started the fire. Witnesses say he was distressed over unemployment. The young man is now in a critical condition in hospital. His brother says he had been trying to support his family but had struggled finding a job.
